Cathy Harper Lee, former Ohio Supreme Court Justice Evelyn Lundberg Stratton, founded the Ohio Crime Victim Justice Center in 2000 with no funding. The center has since provided free legal assistance and support to over 12,000 crime victims, trained over 18,000 law enforcement, prosecutors, judges, and established precedent-setting case law that helps future crime victims. Harper's passion for justice came from her own experiences as a child whose needs were ignored by the criminal justice system for over a decade. Her vision is to build a more fair and equitable process for crime victims/survivors.
